Almost 70 percent of Los Angeles teachers have seriously considered quitting, says this report.

Many educators take side gigs and can’t afford to live where they teach, as ‘teacher pay penalty’ grows (that is the wage gap between teachers and other professionals with similar education experience), hitting a new high, reaching 23.5 percent in 2021. Nearly 60 percent of educators with 20 or more years of experience reported not being able to afford to live in the communities where they teach.

The report was published by UTLA.
